VICTORIA, BC – Hoyne Brewing has announced the release of a new beer crafted in collaboration with local coffee shop Habit Coffee.

Voltage Espresso Stout is made using several different malts and “abundant shots of hand pulled espresso”, and is described somewhat mysteriously on the Hoyne website as follows:

Shaner D and I doing the live circuit at Beer fest, alternating the spro and stout: “Let’s make a beer with shocking polarity.” “Black on black” I agreed. Tommy D, always the conductor, kept us grounded with his three-pronged wisdom: “Like love, boys, it starts with a spark. When the field is fully charged, flip the switch: Voltage!”

Voltage Espresso Stout is available now at the Hoyne retail store and at select private liquor stores in Victoria and area.
